#8608 added man pages to doc/man, however we already have a bunch of man pages in contrib/debian/manpages. These should be unified to only exist in one place.

Some discussion also in (unrelated) pull #8568.

The reason for not using the man pages under contrib/debian is uncertainty about their licensing. Probably they should be removed in favor of the new ones, but no one has dared to.

Having a look, it does not seem the ones in contrib/debian contain useful information.
+1 removing them.

Also, it should be added next to "update translations" in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/release-process.md#release-process

Yea, I dont think removing the debian ones is a bad idea, just need to make sure to update the contrib/debian/*.manpages pointers when that happens.
